Review
Here is another innovative new Search Press series for the budding artist how to draw. This initial entry is all about flowers, which is surely one of the most popular subjects for art. All you need is a soft pencil or two, some paints and paper and this book. This is a real back-to-basics approach, both to the subject of drawing and to writing books on drawing. Forget all those pages devoted to materials and tips, and the written descriptions of what you need to do, and look instead at a book filled with just diagrams. Who needs words after all, to show how to draw pictures? Every page shows you how, in about eight or nine staged steps, to paint a particular garden flower. At the bottom is a finished tonal drawing in done in pencil, and one painted in watercolors. In each of the drawings the previous stage is shown in a different color, so you can see what to do next. It is surprisingly easy to do, although the huge leap from a simple pencil outline to the complex tonal or painted study is far from obvious, and I would have preferred fewer early stages and more showing the later nuances. --Rachel Hyde, MyShelf.com

I was a bit disappointed with this book. There is a one page introduction and the rest of the pages are just outlines of flowers showing the steps builing up to the painting stage (as per the cover). There are no tips (eg looking for contact points etc, which I got from another book) and no other text at all apart from the introduction. I think the pages on drawing contained within other books are much more helpful.
